Is reality something?

[Reciprocality]

Reality is irreducible to our phenomenal experiences since no array of experience is essential to the meaning you think when you think that word.

Yet you would not think that word without any phenomenal experience. Quite extraordinary.

 

Now you ask whether this meaning-entity is something, and this you are surely doing by acknowledging that at least some things are merely imaginary and that without investigation so too could the meaning-entity of "reality" be, and especially so according to my analysis above which states that no real thing is essential for the meaning of reality. So is reality something?

Reality is neither something nor nothing, it is the relation between 1. the things that are "something" and 2. the reason these things can be classified together without sharing any one attribute, this reason being your consciousness, and this consciousness being the concept of negation or a negation in general.

Now over to my speculation: first principle: everything which does not share attributes requires some form of syntax to come into unity, everything which does not share an attribute requires to form synthetic predicates into which certain sections of dissimilar attributes form, and all such synthetic predication is teleological or driven towards purposes and in humans these are always personal up until a certain age and distinctness of self/ego proportions to all those synthetic predications by necessity (can not have one without the other).
